PC Core help

I think its not true quad-core only 2physical and 2logical.

this is what it looks with me... 4 cores.
WHat Windows are you using?

I have 2 cores, and it shows 4 graphs :|

It must be disabled in the BIOS then.

did you activate all your cores?

Check device manager -> processors. How many positions u have there

Perhaps it is possible to unlock it to quad core using bios? Some CPUs come as dual and then unlock further for people who need the extra power.

Can you post a screenshot of CpuZ like this?
If you post also a txt report we can help you more :)

Go to BIOS and open all the CPU Cores. I had the same issue with my 8 core proccesor, I got to use only two before doing so.

Well I know from my old Asus p5k board that if I dicked around and turned either or memory mapping off or EHCI off the bios load screen would only show 2 cores, though windows would still use and show 4...

Alt you could have your boot settings changed.
run->Msconfig->boot->advanced options-> check if "number of processors" is ticked...

number of processors is ticked and locked to 2 or 1 :s

If i had 2 cores with 3ghz would that make the overall speed 6ghz?

I got curious and went see mine...shows 8 graphs, the logical cores show too?

you can try to unlock the cores from bios

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, 2403 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s).
True quad core? Should I be happy with 4 graphs when other people have 8? lol....

lol this thread have so much fails...i would reply each one, but i'm too tired for that. First of all, just Intel CPU's have logical cores; his Athlon is a real 4-core. Second - Athlon II X4 is the model name, the X4 is a part of the CPU name and if windows shows it, it doesn't mean the number of cores (so having an AMD A10 would mean you have 10 cores lol?).

For OP: Post a screen from CPU-Z Mainboard tab, so i can tell you what exactly you need to do in your bios to activate them all.
